Texas Homeschool Support Groups

Homeschool support groups in your state are an excellent way to gain more assistance and guidance in your homeschooling endeavors. A regional support group fosters a wonderful sense of community among homeschooling families and allows for more opportunities to exchange ideas, plan group outings, and share in the overall experience of homeschooling! While Calvert supports the development of community among homeschooling families, this list does not constitute affiliation between Calvert Education and the groups represented below.

SAN ANTONIO HOMESCHOOL FUN AND LEARNING (S.A.H.F.L.)

S.A.H.F.L. is a secular homeschooling group in northeast San Antonio and the surrounding area striving to provide a tolerant place for ALL homeschoolers. There is no statement of faith to sign, and everyone is welcome regardless of religion. We get together several times a month for arts and crafts, field trips, park days, chess, and basically whatever anyone feels they need. We are dedicated to having fun and spending time with other families that are open-minded and dedicated to raising healthy, friendly, loving children. If you homeschool and are friendly with different religions (e.g., pagan, Buddhist, Christian, Agnostic) and like to talk, laugh, have your kids in a safe environment, and generally be in great company, you have come to the right place.
